While earlier posting on another unrelated thread I was reminded of the "Squall is actually dead" theory about FFVIII (Explained Here [http://squallsdead.com/]) that states Squall is killed at the end of disk 1 by the icicle blast from Eda and everything else after is a dying dream.
It's a well thought out alternative explanation for a slightly confusing story and the game's sudden unexplained plot twists and relationship changes (Rinoa suddenly loves him despite previously showing no interest? No wound?).
We are, obviously, all different in terms of background and world view so perhaps you played a game and saw something that the developer hadn't intended or interpreted a story differently?
What I want to know is if you know of/have thought of any alternative explanations for a game's story or ending? Or even character relationships if you want to go there.
For example a lot of people seem to read an undercurrent of abuse in Albatross' relationship with Sis in Alpha Protocol whereas I just saw him as an overprotective pseudo-father for her.
I'm guessing this by nature will involve spoilers so try to tag them if it's a recent game.
